The dream of a unified check-line auto-generator for all phases of compilation is dead.
The llc script has already diverged to be better at its goal, so having 2 scripts that
do almost the same thing is just causing confusion.
We can rip out the llc ability in update_test_checks.py next and rename it, so it will
be clear that we have one script for llc check auto-generation and another for opt.

The non-obvious motivation for adding this fold (which already happens in InstCombine)
is that we want to canonicalize IR towards select instructions and canonicalize DAG
nodes towards boolean math. So we need to recreate some folds in the DAG to handle that
change in direction.
An interesting implementation difference for cases like this is that InstCombine
generally works top-down while the DAG goes bottom-up. That means we need to detect
different patterns. In this case, the SimplifyDemandedBits fold prevents us from
performing a zext to sext fold that would then be recognized as a negation of a sext.
